What's the most you've ever lost in a game of Chess?

Want to play a game?

An epidemic of perpetual sleep threatens to drive the world mad...

Are you smart?

...unless Alice and the Pillar can win a global Chess game where every world leader plays to save their own country.

Smart enough to play for your life?

Designed by the one Wonderland Monster who knows what the Six Impossible Keys are for, Alice will have to risk the lives of millions to expose his secret.

But that's the least of Alice's fears. She is about face a monster who is on no one's side but his own. A monster who shares a terrible past with her that she can't quite remember. A past that will challenge her struggles with her identity and the things she has done -- and will do.

On the other hand, Inspector Dormouse is about to discover why 'Pilla da Killa' killed twelve people in cold blood -- a discovery that he may soon regret.

Will Alice walk the white tiles of the chessboard of life again, like she did in the Vatican? Will she triumph over her sins from the past? Will she find love again? Is she really destined to kill the Pillar?

And, most important of all, what is Carter Pillar's greatest secret?
